░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░Warm queries have all data in cache.
Approach: Search for 100 random vectors from the 768d dataset with top k = 10, when dataset is fully in cache. Warming the cache for an index takes about ~3s (for 1m vectors) after the first cold query, and typically stays in cache for a few days.

Moving to turbopuffer felt less like an upgrade and more like discovering a new paradigm. We didn't just save costs; we turned once-prohibitive features into standard tools in our arsenal. Vectorize all the things and say goodbye to sharding
